Teacher Candidate: Casey Howell Grade: 3rd

Subject/EEDA/SSCA: Social Studies and Reading Date and Time of Lesson: 3/25/13

Learning Objective: Students will understand the challenges and conditions that enslaved African Americans faced prior to the Civil War. Alignment with Standards: Reading Standard 3-2: The student will read and comprehend a variety of informational texts in print and nonprint formats. Social Studies 3-4.1: Compare the conditions of daily life for various classes of people in South Carolina, including the elite, the middle class, the lower class, the independent farmers, and the free and the enslaved African Americans. Developmental Appropriateness: Students have been introduced to Slavery and the lives of slaves before the Civil War. However, through this lesson, I will be introducing the life of a slave on a personal level to enhance their understanding. This lesson is also intended to exercise students comprehension skills.

Assessments of the Objective: Before the actual lesson, I will have the students write down three things that they already know about Slavery in their notebooks. After reading the first book, I will have the students complete a worksheet that consists of three questions that will test their comprehension of the first story. After the lesson, students will be completing a Venn diagram comparing the two stories. I will collect the Venn diagrams to observe for comprehension, as well. To conclude the lesson, I will have the students add one new fact that they have learned about Slavery from this lesson to their list. Accommodations: I will make sure that each student receives clear, specific instructions and expectations so that the ADHD students will stay on task. Students who are struggling with the topic may be paired with someone who understands the topic better. Materials: Books: More Than Anything Else by Marie Bradby, Up The Learning Tree by Marcia Vaughan, Venn-Diagram print outs, Social Studies Notebook, Pencil, Worksheets (Print out), and SmartBoard. -Use of Technology: I will be demonstrating part of the lesson on the SmartBoard.

Introducing the lesson: Hook: I will put a picture of Slaves on the SmartBoard. I will ask the students, Based off what youve been learning these past few weeks, what do you think about these pictures? What do you think is happening? Who are these people? The reason I showed you this picture is because today we will be discussing the lives of slaves through two books. First, I want you to pull out your Social Studies notebooks and write down three things that you already know about slavery. Once each student has finished, I will give them a chance to share what they have written. I will then call them to the carpet and introduce the first book, More Than Anything Else by Marie Bradby. I will read the book, stopping periodically to lead a discussion of what is happening in the story. Once I have finished the story, I will pass out clipboards with two worksheets, the first consists of 3 questions and the second will be a Venn diagram. I will then tell them to begin working on the first worksheet, answering questions about the first book. Once the worksheets are completed, we will review them as a class. Next, we will review what a Venn diagram is used for. I will tell students to be looking out for similarities and differences in the next story from the previous story. I will then have students place their clipboards in front of them and refrain from touching them. Now, we are going to read another story that is similar to what we just read. This book is called, Up the Learning Tree by Marcia Vaughan. I will read the story, again, stopping to review what is happening and checking for comprehension. Once I am finished reading the second book, I will have them grab their clipboard and turn to the blank Venn diagram worksheet. I will pair students into partners and allow them 10 minutes to fill out the Venn diagram, comparing the two stories that we just read. After students have completed the diagram, we will work together as a class to fill out my Venn diagram on the board. Once we have finished, I will tell students to leave their clipboards with both worksheets on the carpet in their spot. To conclude the lesson, I will have the students go back to their seats and add one new thing that they have learned about Slavery to their list from the beginning of class. I will collect the notebooks and check them for both comprehension and participation.
